Opis

This is the first ever complete critical edition of the Complete Works of Voltaire and the first complete edition to appear in over a hundred years. The edition contains hitherto unedited texts, texts which have not been republished since their original publication, rare works, newly researched historical and critical introductory chapters to the chosen base texts, Voltaire's own notes on his text, as well as all the known authentic variants.The Voltaire who is emerging ever more clearly from modern critical study stands not as an isolated, heroic figure who rises above his century, but as an eminently influential thinker and writer who dominated the literary life of the era and who sustained a constant, creative dialogue with the society of his time and with the world around him. -- John Iverson, Eighteenth-Century Studies
